Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Town Street Tap

Unbranded, but seemingly the outlet for the local Tollgate Brewery? Anyway, this is an example of the more modern style of micro-pub, with smart furniture and decor in the partly opened-out layout of two small rooms. No counter, so irrespective of Covid-19, all is table service. When I visited, a pair of the owner's real ales were available - Duffield Amber and Old Rasputin (£3.25) - plus Beartown Skinfull and Flagship Vandal, together with their keg Happ and LA Steam.

One room with no bar - prompt service from the staff only! The barrels were at the rear which I spotted when I visited the toilet. The ales were listed on a beam in the middle of the room. Worth a revisit.

Having missed an opportunity for a drink here a few weeks before, when I passed through Duffield some hours before opening time, a quick look at the bus timetable when in Darley Abbey showed me a window of opportunity. The next bus going to Belper would drop me off near the pub some 13 minutes before the next one going south would take me back to Derby. So this review is based on the briefest of acquaintances, but I must say I was quietly impressed. As both Alan and Ray have observed, this is a pub without a bar counter, the beers and ciders being listed on blackboards on both sides of a beam across the middle of the shop. Service was very prompt and the beer was in delightful condition. The cold room where the beers are stillaged is visible when following the signs to the toilet, and there were clearly a lot of beers waiting to come on (with, I think, four or five listed as available). There's a real fire and a friendly sort of atmosphere - there were about 10 other drinkers already here when I arrived 10 minutes after opening time. For those who like that sort of thing, there were pork pies and scotch eggs available, and bowls of water for canine companions. Obviously a well used and well loved pub. I'll be back for a more leisurely visit.
